The new global virus was only the beginning. After the majority of the population was infected, the virus began to cause mutations within the human body, as if it were a program controlling its host.

Within half a month, 99% of the infected life forms turned into uncontrollable monsters.

Shao Ming, who was studying abroad in the UK, received word that there still existed an uninfected safe zone back in his distant homeland.

Now, he must cross the entire Eurasian continent to find that last piece of untouched land.

Without a system, without superhuman abilities, without evolution, the only thing he can rely on is the weapon in his hand and the train running on the tracks. Traversing the wasteland, we lose not only our loved ones, but also the humanity that is gradually erased.

Scavenging supplies, rescuing survivors, upgrading the train, reinforcing the carriages, follow the protagonist—fighting through the obstacles and heading toward the final safe zone.

To the Honorable [Classified],

Thank you for finally giving our reports the attention they deserve. This will significantly aid the government in promptly controlling the situation.

Below is a summary of our findings on the P-virus over the past three months. Detailed weekly reports have been submitted and can be reviewed at [Classified].

Irreversible Infection:

Our research in the [Classified] region has confirmed that P-virus infection is irreversible. Attempts to reverse the virus's control over the central nervous system have been unsuccessful. Subjects from groups [Classified] and [Classified] immediately lost all vital signs after forced removal of the virus. Experiment records are attached in the annex.

Dormancy Mechanism:

Infected individuals, designated as P-01 "Infected," exhibit a dormancy mechanism that reduces metabolic activity to near-zero levels. This dormancy is achieved through P-virus control over neural signals, halting hair and nail growth and virtually ceasing brain activity. Basic functions like blood circulation and respiration are minimally maintained. Infected individuals in this state are almost indistinguishable from being clinically deceased, akin to the concept of "living dead" in movies. Surprisingly, sensory systems like sight and hearing remain functional, allowing them to awaken quickly if disturbed. This activation is driven by the virus's reactivation of bodily functions.

Energy and Mortality:

When energy reserves are too low, infected individuals naturally perish, as the virus fails to sustain itself through replication. Prolonged dormancy increases the likelihood of brain necrosis. Infected individuals may lose all consciousness and become fully controlled by the virus after extended dormancy.

Experiments in [Classified] revealed that infected individuals resort to cannibalism to meet energy needs when food is unavailable.

Emerging Subspecies:

Over time, various unpredictable subspecies of infected individuals have been observed. For example, enhanced reflexes or physical abilities in some infected individuals appear to result from the virus removing human physiological limitations. After sufficient feeding, infected individuals experience unchecked proliferation, including rapid viral replication and abnormal growths, such as tumors and increased muscle density. Certain cases show significant muscular deformities, but skeletal constraints limit these transformations. Future subspecies with structural deviations remain a possibility.

P-Virus as a Weapon:

Evidence suggests that the P-virus is an artificial bioweapon. Its highly specific targeting of humans, excluding genetically similar species like primates or pigs, points to deliberate design. The virus's unprecedented replication and neurological control mechanisms defy natural evolution.

Current Transmission Risk:

The virus remains infectious to "pure individuals"—those uninfected and without antibodies—primarily through blood and saliva rather than aerosols.

Territorial Behavior:

Reports from military units and satellite images indicate territorial behavior among certain infected groups. Some even construct nest-like structures, though it's unclear whether this stems from retained human habits or newly developed consciousness.

Fruitful Collaboration Needed:

Urgent collaboration with [Classified] is necessary. If [Classified] has been compromised, a retrieval team should secure vital data to aid our research.

P.S.: Supplies on the island are running low. Could you send some provisions, particularly fruit gummies? Also, can you confirm our base doesn't have a hidden self-destruct mechanism? I'd rather not end up like [Classified] thanks to an uninformed leader.
